The site the work deserves
What a website has to do for a trade in The Dalles
The median home in The Dalles was built in 1964, and a business that repairs, remodels or reroofs those houses is selling to an owner who wants to see the finished work before anyone knocks on the door. Lithium Marketing designs and builds WordPress websites for service businesses in The Dalles, with the job photos, the service pages and the quote form in the order a customer reads them.
A customer on a phone in the room that needs the work will not wait for a slow page, so the site is built to load on a weak signal, with the phone number where a thumb rests and a quote form short enough to finish. You own the domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content, so the site is an asset on your books.
Where the site meets search
A page that can carry a trade on its own
"Landscaping the dalles" draws about 30 searches a month and "electrician the dalles" about 30, so a single well-built page can carry a trade here. The page has to answer the search in the first screen: the work, the town and a way to ask for a price.
That is where the website earns its cost. The finished job, the town and the way to ask for a price are all on one screen, so the visitor does not have to scroll back to a menu to act.

The housing behind the page
A housing stock that sets the page list
In The Dalles, 7.5% of the housing was built in 2010 or later, so the new-build page is a niche and the repair page is the main event. The median home value in The Dalles is $360,800, which makes a roof or a kitchen a large purchase for the person who signs the estimate.
The Dalles covers 6.685 square miles of land, so one page can cover the whole town, and 63.2% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, which tells you who the page is written for.

The trades that buy a site
Who in the county needs a project gallery
Wasco County has 16 new home builders, 8 residential remodelers and 16 landscaping services, and those are the businesses whose sites live or die on the gallery. A builder with one page of photos and no project write-up leaves the customer guessing about scope, budget range and the kind of house the company builds.
The repair trades need a different first screen. A plumbing, heating or electrical customer wants the phone number, the service area and the hours before anything else, and the same site can carry both kinds of page as long as the home page asks which customer it is talking to.

The build
How a website gets built for a business in The Dalles
The copy comes from your call and your photos, and nothing goes live until you have seen it on a phone.
1
Start with the work you have finished
You send photos and the list of work you sell, and the pages are written from those.
2
Look at it on a phone before anything else
The mobile screen gets designed first, with the photos, the phone number and the quote form in the order a customer meets them.
3
Test it, then connect the tracking
Every form and phone link gets tested by hand, then GA4 and call tracking are connected so the calls that come in can be counted.
4
Point the old addresses at the new pages
Redirects go in before launch, and a private Loom recording shows you how to change the text and swap a photo.

- Sub-2.5-second mobile load

FAQ
Website questions from The Dalles trades
Still curious?
Call (503) 766-5964 or email [email protected].
How many pages does a trade business need before the price moves?
A typical build covers the home page, the service pages and one page for the area you work. The price moves when the page count grows: a remodeler with thirty finished projects, or a company that wants its own page in six towns, needs more writing and more design.
Who holds the domain and the hosting account?
You do. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress install and the content are all opened in your name, and nothing about the site depends on an account Lithium holds.
Can a customer get a quote on a phone without calling?
The form is short and works on a phone, and it asks for the job, the town and a photo if the customer has one. A written request often arrives with more detail than a phone message, and the detail is what lets you price the work.
Do you write the copy, or do we?
We write it, from one long call and the photos you send, and you approve every page before it goes live. You are not left with a blank editor and a deadline.
How long does a build take from kickoff to launch?
Six to nine weeks for a typical service business site, and a larger build with more pages gets a fixed proposal before the work starts. The review stages are the part that keeps it on schedule: mobile and desktop designs get your sign-off before the build begins.
